palmOne Acquires Rights to Palm Brand

MILPITAS, Calif., May 24, 2005 - palmOne, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLMO) today
announced an agreement with PalmSource, Inc. for palmOne to acquire full
rights to the brand name Palm. The brand had been co-owned by the two
companies since the October 2003 spin-off of PalmSource from Palm, Inc.

palmOne will pay PalmSource $30 million for PalmSource's 55 percent
share of the Palm Trademark Holding Company. Payment will be made in
installments over 3.5 years. palmOne will change its company name to
Palm, Inc. later this year. As part of the agreement, palmOne has
granted PalmSource certain rights to Palm trademarks for PalmSource and
its licensees for a four-year transition period.

"The letters P-A-L-M reflect a prized brand with significant customer
awareness and earned loyalty," said Ed Colligan, palmOne president and
chief executive officer. "Innovation, power, ease of use, and elegance
all are attributes of the brand, and we intend to invest to turn what is
a strong name today into a household word synonymous with leadership in
mobile computing."

A new logo and design treatment will be unveiled later this summer.
Mobile-computing products to be launched in the fall are expected to
feature the name Palm instead of palmOne.
